Angel Readings - AskYourAngels.com

Dear Angels,
"I had a nine year on-again, off-again relationship with Kevin.   I loved him very much despite that our relationship was tumultuous to say the least. I finally left him when I was 29 because I didn't trust him anymore and he had moved to Florida. Now I'm getting ready to move to FL and out of the blue he contacted me. Neither he nor I ever married or had children.  He wants to help me because I've had health problems and he's now successful financially.

If he sincere?  Has he changed? Can I trust him? I need to feel safe. I'm very vulnerable right now and don't want to regret allowing him back into my life.  Thank you Angels."

Dear Carly,
It's obvious you're excited about creating a new life for yourself in Florida. At the same time it looks as if you are not feeling very sure of yourself, not just with Kevin, but in general.  You seem to have a history of rejection or maybe creating situations that harmed you in one way or another.  It looks as if you've come out on the short end financially in a legal case as well.  Notice if you seem to trust in people before they have proved themselves trustworthy. 

Kevin would love to begin again with you. I'm not sure he knows how to love, but he knows how he likes to feel. They are two different things. He thinks you two could move forward from where you were when you were younger. He sees you as the prize of prizes and would love to do whatever it takes to continue your old relationship. When I ask if you will be happy, I get that the old "stuff" will arise and you will want to move on.

Here's the gist of your Angels' talk.  If you can connect with him as a friend but not move in with him, that would work. Once you move in, you will be emotionally trapped again. A better idea is for you to get your own place, "Please!", holler your Angels. If Kevin wants to help you or date you and you are interested, then go for it. Better to have a short-term roommate situation until you get "on your feet,"  than begin an old relationship which didn't work the first one, two, three, times. If your relationship goes great, and you feel emotionally loved and supported, then you can live together, later.

Watch your tendency to give away your power.  It's much easier to give it away than it is to take it back.
